The Chakosi of Togo

The Chakosi of Togo, numbering approximately 102,000 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are an Akan people calling themselves Anoufou, or people of Anu, after their origin on Ivory Coast's Komoe River, who migrated in the late 1700s to found a warrior camp on the Oti River that became Mango, ruling their own kingdom at Sansanne-Mango. They mostly adhere to Folk Islam and Anufo is their primary language.
